1813-14 wa3 very considerably enlarged and improved. 

 It was lengthened thirteen feet, had a new roof with a 

 circular ceiling (by which increased internal height was 

 secured), new doors and windows throughout, and the 

 internal fittings restored on a more modern construction." 



A place of worship for the Plymouth Brethren was 

 built in 1853. It has a neat stone front, with a colonnade 

 before the principal entrance. The chapel stands back 

 from the street, from which it is separated by a grass 

 lawn and handsome iron railing. The Brethren have 

 no burying-place in the town, but they mostly use a 

 small cemetery in the village of Galmpton, or one at 

 Chillington. 



About fifty years since, several persons holding Calvinistic 

 doctrines opened a room for worship in Ebrington Street, 

 Dodbrooke, which was continued until about twenty years 

 ago, when they removed to a large room near Gallants' 

 Bridge; but in 1872, the Friends' Meeting House being 

 vacant, they resolved to endeavour to rent that place of 

 worship, and after some little difficulty, permission was 

 given for the "Calvinistic Baptists" to hold their services 

 there.
